Bots seriously affecting Dynamic Events

Yes, I know this post will probably get locked, but I thought it might help.

While attempting to do many of the dynamic events in the Harathi Hinterlands on the Borlis Pass server, I reported some 50 or so bots in the zone. In my opinion, there were more bots than actual players in that zone. There were so many bots that it scaled the dynamic events up to almost unplayable/unwinnable levels.

My wife and I and several others all attempted to kill Gargantula, but due to the number of bots in the area, we were never able to bring the MoB down fast enough before it healed and spawned the spiderlings. Whenever the centaurs attacked, there would litterally be 25-30 of them coming in waves. The bots would natually just leave them alone and run their routes, while the four or five of us that were actually trying to participate in the event were overrun with the numbers and levels of the waves of centaurs.

I reported all the bots I could click on. Several of them are running around in groups, so it was difficult to get all of them reported. However, I though in the interest of helping out, I would also give you a hint as to where you can find them. Not only are they bringing down the economy like matter trapped in a black hole’s point-of-no-return, but their sheer numbers are adversely affecting the strengths and difficulties of the dynamic events in the areas where they are botting making many of them unplayable.

They should not be too difficult to find as they all seem to be Rangers with bears and/or the infamous five signet Warriors. Go get ’em!!

Thanks.

Hello everybody,
this issue is being looked into at the moment. However, you can help too by reporting bots using the in-game tool for that purpose.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for all your comments.
